asciilifeform: bahaha complete with anthem and tov. c in front covers!

asciilifeform: meanwhile, for incorrigible rotakus strictly, http://manualul.info ( found, naturally, while digging for the orig kindergarten src of http://trilema.com/2018/printul ) ☟︎

asciilifeform brb,meat

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-21#1816417 << looks good to me ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-21#1816404 << believe or not, i dun actually have a en<->de .txt . ( the arch-bestseller , v. k. mueller's en<->ru , is errywhere, e.g. http://www.alleng.ru/d/engl/engl150.htm ) ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: phf ^ ?

asciilifeform: ^ bot sees it. but try in www browser

asciilifeform rereads, finds that http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767833 link is dead ?! ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( most recently detailed in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2146 )

asciilifeform: another funny bit is that i described, in the l0gz, the simple scheme for ~identical gadget, on several occasions.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: classiest one to date, afaik

asciilifeform: https://amrron.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AD1_1_Firmware_Source.zip << sores.

asciilifeform: interestingly, whitens with... keccak

asciilifeform: 'AmRRON Dark Labs, a type of Skunk Works for the Patriot community, has built a machine...' blah ☟︎

asciilifeform: from comments, mar. 28, 2018 'I purchased one and am very happy with it. While I too have the dice, it is so time consuming, and this is so much quicker and simple. I have had no issues with the unit and plan on purchasing another.'

asciilifeform: no photos of device interior / shields, at least where i could immediately find. preprocessor seems to ( surprised? ) whiten.

asciilifeform: somewhat to asciilifeform's surprise, the schematic is on the ( lulzy in 9000 ways ) linked www ; and even seems to use FG-like johnson noise source

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in honeypot entomology, https://amrron.com/2018/05/02/product-review-amrron-dark-labs-adl-1-otp-generator , https://amrron.com/2018/03/18/amrron-dark-labs-otp ( https://archive.li/kxNrA , https://archive.li/dGneI )

asciilifeform: !!up pipp8

asciilifeform: ( if you need a heavy-duty gensym, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-28#1790082 works and is easy to implement ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: it's a temp dir, should live for, what, a few seconds

asciilifeform: why does it need to work cross-invocations tho

asciilifeform: phf: wb

asciilifeform: esthlos: (gensym)

asciilifeform: !!sent-invoices

asciilifeform: !!ledger

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the tanks are nearing bottom.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: will have to pass this time, sadly

asciilifeform brb,meat

asciilifeform: !Q later tell ben_vulpes is there a problem with the invoice ? ( aside from the fact that i forgot the 36 usd fee , in it ) ? how come i'm still waiting ?

asciilifeform: !Q later tell BingoBoingo http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2018/05/20/how-do-you-want-to-be-memorialized/#comment-115095

asciilifeform: ( recall. )

asciilifeform: by ~that~ measure it was dead 3+y ago , when it turned to openly infecting the stored tarballs ☟︎

asciilifeform: in unrelated noose, http://www.good-display.com << possibly world's slowest commercial www ( chinese parts supplier asciilifeform was trying to search catalogue of ) , it makes ~version 1~ phuctor seem fast by comparison

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816251 << classic example of the 'frog brain' ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816160 ) . i.e. as if we have no hands and could not use search engine, and it had to wait for him. ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: i for one have noticed no symptoms of educability , thus far, in douchebag . but he's not my pupil, he's mircea_popescu's , when mircea_popescu has had his fill, he will throw him out .

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816096 << it was ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816065 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1816072 etc << this crapola doesn't even display properly on my terminal, and i refuse to fiddle with it to read it, d00d was warned repeatedly to stop spewing nonsearchable, nontextrenderable screenshit liquishit , and yet persists ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sadly not dead; merely ( and along with growing list of assorted usg.derps ) blocks the bot

asciilifeform: trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-10-10#1295983 << for ref ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's

asciilifeform: ( which i did when mircea_popescu published his archived 1.4.10 tarball )

asciilifeform: trinque: very early on, i actually had it, but it was 100% painless to switch away from

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-20#1815935 << i'ma give it a proper look ☝︎

asciilifeform: they use same format

asciilifeform: esthlos: you don't need to convert keys to switch from 2.x to 1.x

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: '(1960*4-8-8-16-64-24-6144 -- this includes two commas and a 2048 bit exponent)' << out of curiosity, how come your exponent is capped at 2048 ? or did i misread this ?

asciilifeform: write ops with default destinations are ugh in general

asciilifeform: y'know, the civilized , clickable, back-referenceable kind

asciilifeform: lobbes: i gotta ask, is there a reason you dislike using proper logline quoting ?

asciilifeform: other potentially-interesting stabs in the dark include nextprime(sha1/2(dictionarypassword)) and the like.

asciilifeform: this is possible via lattice method, but sadly i haven't currently the free hands

asciilifeform: see, moar interesting than brute strength, would be an electrical litmus for all such moduli.

asciilifeform: this alone is not , arguably, interesting ; but then turns out that the score of the ~modulus~ is not uncorrelated with that of the constituent primes.

asciilifeform: ( made with simple proggy http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/E9C6q/?raw=true )

asciilifeform: in other lullies re subj : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/QazsK/?raw=true << nontrivial (256b and up) primes known to phuctor, sorted by ascending ~ent score~

asciilifeform normally thinks of 'bitness' in re rsa, rather than 'byteness'

asciilifeform: and bit lengths

asciilifeform: was speaking above of the ~primes~

asciilifeform: buncha 512b keys in the collection

asciilifeform: for starters.

asciilifeform: gonna feed in 256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192-long variants of this .

asciilifeform: it is going into production in coupla day

asciilifeform: already wrote up the generator for this, last night

asciilifeform: recall, we already had a 'set top bit and nexprime()' bunch: http://qntra.net/2016/08/phuctor-finds-seven-keys-produced-with-null-rng-and-other-curiosities

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: ( the odds against uninited buffer having just those, are heavy )

asciilifeform: seems more likely that top byte was deliberately set != 0 , this seems to be the custom in erry single rsatron i ran across

asciilifeform: aha, part of a 2048b modulus

asciilifeform: with a sprinkle of nobus on top.

asciilifeform: not barf ! genuine prime.

asciilifeform: hey it obeys the 'set coupla upper bits and get nextprime()' algo! so wat if forgot to rngize !11

asciilifeform: aaaha.

asciilifeform: the prime is... 0xcd0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000d9 !!

asciilifeform: unrelatedly: since nobody answered http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-18#1815331 riddle, i'ma post the answer : ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( in the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-24#1805137 sense ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phunphakt re yudkowsky -- d00d has the dubious distinction, among others, of having had 'his' harem... hijacked

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't specifically know, in his case. but typically they get 'promoted out' of it when reading that level.

asciilifeform: ( re boneh, see, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-09#1783082 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-15#1715003 , http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-03#1513443 ) ☝︎☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: Mocky: boneh is a well-funded, quite prolific usg.corrupt mathematician, with (formerly, iirc) a day job teaching undergrads ( hence your exposure )

asciilifeform: Mocky: boneh is example of a not-entirely-talentless maths d00d who , for whatever reason, joined enemy camp as a professional fifth columnist in open-publication academia , rather than nsa in-house

asciilifeform: lol apparently i missed a line

asciilifeform: ^ see also.

asciilifeform: !#s boneh

asciilifeform: and get breadboard, a bag of parts from a dead man's estate sale, start building simple things.

asciilifeform: after mims, find horowitz & hill's 'the art of electronics'

asciilifeform: ( author of children's books on electronics )

asciilifeform: Mocky: if it is, start with one forrest mims ☟︎

asciilifeform: Mocky: is english your favourite language to read in ?

asciilifeform: ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1710095 << moar thread, for the curious n00b ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: aaaand 1) nobody makes larger homogeneous fpga 2) is likely to ever ; see thread http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769061 . ☝︎

asciilifeform: unfortunately you can't build much of a comp from it, on account of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764242 ☝︎

asciilifeform: !#s ice40

asciilifeform: nao, there ~is~ today something that there wasn't 5y ago, which is the properly-reversed fpga :

asciilifeform: Mocky: hardware is in an ever more dire state, than before, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-30#1806757 , 0 progress afaik anywhere at all on the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-30#1806521 front ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-13#1017692 << iirc the 1st ada thread here ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( it also failed on http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-30#815513 condition ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: the closest runner-up contender was standard ml, but it demands a ~MB-sized runtime , and imposes gc , nobody is ever stuffing it into 32kB. ☟︎

asciilifeform: Mocky: it was the one item left standing when asciilifeform went methodically through list of all known prog langs , and crossed off anything that didn't : bounds-check, operate free of gc, produce compact binaries for e.g. microcontrollers, support all major cpu archs , have written standard.

asciilifeform: ^ a notbad place to start from.
